Grin, he was. It's tooo many details although he gets fancy with them
and feeds 2,000 troops alone (on a ship of 200-250). Reading through
his embellishments, he was a MS third class or second class. His
knowledge of details show clearly not above that. Thats not something
bad however. He did 1 or 2 tours which is more most have done.

One of his recent ones is pretty telling. When the ship has room for
it, yes they really do separate the bakery area from the meat prep
area. It has more to do with oven space and temps though than anything
else. Also clean up times.

Mostly you need lots of room for baking while the other things are more
compressed in space needs.
